1. Does a parody really call for more gore, and jumpscares? That’s your everyday horror film really. A parody would be more like everyday elements a comedy would have; run-on jokes and decisions the characters made are ridiculously yet intentionally stupid.
2. Laurie was genuine in the film. You could feel the emotion she had. I know that it was a dumb idea for her to stay where she was, whereas in H20 she moved to California to avoid those terrors, but her motive for staying there was reasonable enough.
Also, that pumpkin opening was the bomb!
The parody aspect is subtle, but it comes in the form or the presentation and like I have mentioned, it appears to take aspects of all the Halloween films, even Zombie's in tone, and make a melange out of it. Only those in the know would see this though, for casual viewers, they would just see it for what it was. I found the inflating pumpkin thing to be absurd. Was it going in somebodies pool?
Tbh, that inflating pumpkin would be awesome to see in somebody’s pool.
It’s fine if you don’t think too fondly of the film, and that’s completely fine. It wasn’t gonna be for everyone. I just enjoyed it because it was a solid horror film and a great homage to not just the original, but the course of the series, canonical or not.
